Sokehs is a municipality on the main island in the state of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. It consists of 21 villages. One of them is Palikir, the federal capital. Another is Pakin Atoll, an atoll some 30 km northwest of the main island of Pohnpei. Since 1985, the former, depopulated Oroluk Atoll and close by Minto Reef became part of Sokehs municipality.
